On one of yours I did - it wasn't glowing as much as I wanted it to, so I put a coat of more glowing silicone on top as an experiment. If it bugs you (or if it's peeling, that's disappointing but it's to be expected for an experiment) go ahead and peel it off; it won't hurt anything. I also have a spare of that one. It's a bit embarrassing - I didn't like how the first attempt came out so I called it a flop, then made another one (the one you have), then I mixed the two up and ended up painting the wrong one. I guess the lesson is, "label everything."

Since a couple people have asked via PM, yeah, I've still got fish (and will for the foreseeable future). Puntl orders have died down, though, so I'll get my free time back in time to play Civ 6. On an unrelated note, it takes some serious dildorigami to fit an extra firm 8" cock 'n balls into a 5" box. I like to imagine the recipient shouts "Booya!" when it pops out like the world's naughtiest jack-in-the-box.

My fiancee let me know that a few people she knows are expressing interest in puntls. I'll PM you if they're serious about it so you can get in contact with them.

Maybe a tiny speaker to play the Inception THWOMM sound at the same time.

I did not shout, but I did giggle like an insane schoolgirl when mine showed up. And then proceeded to run around the house wobbling it at the pets. I still intend to build a shrine for it...

Probably goes without saying but those fish are probably serious choking hazards for an infant, given size and composition. So like, make sure your 2 year old isn't chewing on it?

The fish have been the unexpected stars of the thread, and they're also the last thing I'd expect to physically harm someone, but that is a really good point.

All she's been doing is picking the seam and cuddling it. So I think we're golden. My wife on the other hand is amazed by the different stiffnesses. She commented, "I'd prefer the more floppy, don't understand why anyone wants the rigid one. But I don't know why I'm asking you, you don't have a vagina". To which I commented that your main audience, I believe, is men. Her face

A little reading suggests you're only required to include a choking hazard warning on your packaging and advertising if the product is a "toy or game" and "intended for children ages 12 or under." I think the fish are nominally "toys," so you'll have to decide what age of customer they're "intended for." That said, if you included a hazard warning just out of an abundance of caution, that probably wouldn't be hard or expensive. A typical warning is: "WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Game contains small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years." The relevant laws are the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

There's been four posts about sex toys and choking hazards without anyone making the obvious joke. I don't know if I'm impressed or disappointed.

Yeah, the big manufacturers include a whole disclaimer sheet with all the stuff the toys aren't intended for. It's all the usual stuff you'd expect - not for food, not a medical device, consult a doctor before dicking, if irritation occurs discontinue use, be cautious, don't give to pets or small children, wash before/after use, basic stuff like that. The firmness samples (like the fish) don't seem to have anything, though, because they're not intended to actually be used for everything. I guess you could make the case that they're toys if there's not a written warning explicitly stating that they are not toys. Anyway, I tried something unusual on a toy I made last night and it came out pretty neat:

Those warnings exist because someone, somewhere started a lawsuit over it. It's amazing we survive as a species.

Just remember that warnings and disclaimers don't exist to protect consumers or the public. They exist to protect manufacturers from consumers and the public. If you are a manufacturer, you should absolutely view them in that way.

Does your puntl hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot? Can you tie it in a bow?

As for everyone else who has ordered a brain: I've got a few of yours curing on my table. I'm going to be in New Orleans over the weekend so some will be going out as soon as I get home early next week, and my more recent orders will await a new/faster/easier mold I'm making and will go out later in the week. Everyone who has ordered a brain(s) will have their organ out in the mail at some point during next week. I also have a couple of defective brains which I'm willing to sell at a deep discount + shipping. One is pretty passable, but not up to my standards and the other one is pretty hosed up but recognizable as a brain. I'll post a picture when I get back. These will sell for $30 + shipping and $35 + shipping. Both are purpleish/realistic.

So back to the thread subject, whenever I see artists take commissions on tumblr they usually open X number of commision slots so they don't get overwhelmed. Did you ever do that, Dildomancer, or do you think there is so much competition you would be worried you would lose potential customers?
